It randomizes the list, takes a sampling, and then sorts the sample, so it does take a second or two. If someone uses your links page every day to check their comics, that might get annoying. If you want to have a "dropdowns" page, so it doesn't slow down your links page, I wouldn't object.

Like I said, it doesn't bother me. All the links banners load fine, as do the link-to-me ones. The only thing that takes a moment is your dropdown. I don't think it's a big deal.

I assume that's a good enough reason. About 90% of my cast is elven.

Oh good, it looks like someone else posted recently, I was afraid this was dead.

1. Your name (what to call you)I am Luminance, posting on behalf of everyone because there are like seven of us.2. Your email address (where to email you about code changes, etc)We have a community email, drowloveistoughlove at gmail dot com iirc but it doesn't get checked very often. If it's urgent send it to cpriebe at digipen dot edu instead, that gets checked daily.3. The name of your comic (Important!)Drow Love is Tough Love, abbreviated to Drow Love or DrowLove if I hate spaces that day.4. Your comic's URLhttp://drowloveistoughlove.comicgenesis.com5. Why your comic is KeenElven material (Like, does it have elves?)Four drow, two elves, and a half elf, actually. :3 We've got a LOT more drawn than what's up there, last I checked, we're set for daily updates until... November? We're still in the "old, bad art" comics, I swear it gets better after we all figure out how to draw backgrounds and stuff.6. Your banner (200x40 jpg, gif, or png). Should not be annoying. Black matte.Not sure what "black matte" means precisely, if you'd like a different banner, it's no trouble for me to make one, just let me know.7. A short text ad for your comic (a blurb, for the links page) oh, none of us are any good at writing these. I usually just hope the banners speak for themselves."Four drow, two elves, a half elf, a human, and a halfling travel to the Underdark. What will happen, we do not know."

Matte has other definitions. You could google it (try "define matte"), check wikipedia, or just check the help section of your graphics application. To expand on my previous explanation, in compositing the matte is the border or halo of an object, particularly in cases of antialiasing, that is responsible for those white speckles around transparent gifs when they are placed on a non-white background.
